I am an old codger with a Kaypro 4 sill boxed up in the closet. I paid
good money to have the CPU "souped up" to 5MHz. It came with CP/M 2
and the "Perfect" suite of s/w, the old kind that said they would
sacrifice your firstborn if you dared to breach their licensing
agreement. It has been years since I took it out of the carton, and
after all this time I suspect that the old 5 1/4" floppies are not
readable. I live alone, and I expect that when I am gone, whoever
cleans out my apartment will have no idea what to do with the Kaypro
and will just discard it.
